EP84: Planning For The Unexpected

In this episode of Roadmap to Retirement, I’m joined by Dana DeLuca to break down what long-term care insurance is, why Medicare won’t cover it, and what care can cost—from in-home help to assisted living and nursing homes. We compare three main options—traditional standalone long-term care, life insurance with an accelerated death benefit rider, and hybrid/linked-benefit policies—plus how underwriting and premiums differ. We also discuss the risks of self-insuring, Medicaid limitations, and ways to make coverage more affordable.
